Oli has just emailed me pointing out that I am the top two results on google for “I’m a very sweaty man”. What he was doing googling that in the first place is entirely his own concern, and it would be remiss of us to speculate.
There are now six days left until we set off on the walk and the fundraising is going extremely well. On Sunday I mentioned that the total stood at £1394 ($2794); today it reads £1979 ($3965). Does anyone feel like giving us that extra little push to take us over £2000?
Again, my thanks go out to everyone who has donated. Your generosity has been fantastic.
Today’s good egg award goes to Greg Lee from Greg and Deb on the Web. Throughout the entire process of planning the walk he has been incredibly supportive and encouraging, but it is for his help with putting together the press releases that I’m particularly thanking him for.
He’ll no doubt say that he didn’t do anything, and that I’d done it all myself. But never-the-less the knowledge that someone who churns out that stuff for a living was looking over my press releases was very reassuring. Especially as he gave it me straight - when something needed changing he told me about it. So in celebration of his good eggness I am resurrecting the Greg rating system.
I give him 5 Gregs
Also thanks to Whit who wrote an excellent plug for the walk on his blog. Thanks man.
Wow it does indeed, even if you mis-spell sweaty as swaety like I just did.
Mr Pops noticed that the third result was ‘hot sweaty man sex’ - do you feature in that one too? *grin*
You’re over 2000 pounds. (Apparently the key for the pound symbol fell off my keyboard.)
Good luck.

You’ll be getting $100 from me in the name of the winner on Sunday or Monday as well.
So what was the number one result? No, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.

Morticia – Great. Not only am I sweaty, but now google is saying I am sweaty too.
Darren – You’re a good man.
Avitable – As are you Adam
(un)relaxeddad – I was both number one AND number two result! Damn their eyes.
Heck, after the walk you might just have the top 10 all to yourself!!

I thought you’d appreciate that, Dan!
Now I don’t have to explain myself to anyone, but I feel I ought to in this case…
Someone said that they hoped the weather would be good for our walk, and I suggested that I too would prefer it to be slightly cool, if not even a little rainy from time to time, as I don’t cope well with exercise in the heat. This reminded me of Neil’s and your radio jaunt, and I felt it would only be right to play the clip. I couldn’t remember the exact URL, so I wondered whether Google had picked up on it.
Google didn’t fail me.
Now I wonder how many people have found http://www.daleswalk.com via the search term “I’m a very sweaty man” ? Probably a few more once I post it on Facebook. Or DIGG…
What was it you said about more visitors? More visitors = more potential sponsors…
See - I even have your backing!
Thanks Dan, and thanks Google.
Dan you always make me laugh. Well, I mean, when you’re trying to be funny. I wouldn’t laugh when you were being serious, that would be rude. Well, I wouldn’t mean to laugh anyway…
I want to know why Oli was googling that. You need to ask him, okay?
I made a small contribution Dan. I meant to do it earlier. So with it you should be well over the 2000 pound mark. (I have no clue where that symbol is on my keyboard.)
Nats last blog post..TIART: Feed me Seymour!
James - Well it’s certainly something to aim for
Oli - Tell it to the judge
Jo - Thank you. I think.
Nat - I wouldn’t call it small Nat. Thank you very much. (my £ is above the three, but I do have a UK keyboard)
